Wow! What a yummy looking fall treat!

I’m making this right now and getting ready to make the filling. Question: in the ingredients, salt is listed, but it’s not listed at all in the directions for the filling. Is there supposed to be salt? Thanks!

I don’t know – I’ve never had that problem. Just try kneading it a bit. I’m so sorry! If all else fails, this is a great pie crust that would easily substitute: All Butter Pie Crust

Or maybe try giving it a few pulses in the food processor? That’s probably what I would try before I gave up. It may have just been that you had a tad too much flour. Measuring flour in cup measurements is pretty unreliable compared to ounces.

Katie–thanks for answering so quickly! I pulsed in the processor and ended up adding almost 3 T of water. It’s in the fridge now–we’ll see how it works. But I’m going to try it again right now and add less flour. I want to love this recipe–it’s so easy. Using melted butter instead of cutting in cold butter, love that, and only 1/4 c. butter to over 2 C. flour? Sounds a little less guilt-inducing than most butter or shortening laden crust recipes. So if this works for you, I’m determined to make it work for me. Thanks for the tips!

Glad I wasn’t the only one! Katie, I just had to say that this tart was a huge hit today! I’m filing this away for the future–I loved it!

It’s amazing, Katie – every time I visit your website, it makes me happy. I feel like I am thumbing my way through the pages of a beautiful magazine. I wish we could have a retreat with our favorite blogging friends to share pointers for beautiful photography and food styling. You rock!

YUM! These pics are making me drool. I’m testing out a Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie for our Thanksgiving 🙂

Katie-THIS IS AWESOME!! And they looks so lovely.

I still have to catch up with Pecan tarts and have lods of ideas for them !! I lovee to bake mini too, small portions and i get to bake more often coz i bake less in little portions:-) Hope i get them atleast a little as pretty as urs Katie!
